Chapter 9: The Golden Dragon In The Pond

"Hahaha, How fun!" Murong Gong laughed for having a little entertainment.

Murong Gong threw the body on the ground and burned his corpse with a flame technique. Afterwards, all the dust were settled, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Murong Gong retract his flame technique and walked towards Zhang Shaofeng, tried to act cool, and he said.

"Why are you causing a ruckus? When did you offend a First Stage Soul-Splitting? Fortunately, I came in time!"

After a while, Zhang Shaofeng was stunned, he opened his mouth, and stared blankly at Murong Gong and asked.

"Murong Gong? It really is you. What's the deal with your strength?" Zhang Shaofeng thought he was hallucinating.

Murong Gong looked at the expression of his old friend, and he was full of smiles. "Haha! This is a long story."

"He's not going to believe me about the Senior. I should take the chance to bet against him. I will get my spirit crystals back!"

He was so determined not to believe in the matter of Senior, so he took the opportunity to bet with the Sect Leader and lose terribly.

Murong Gong glanced at Zhang Shaofeng, and decided to let his old friend feel it too, and in this way, he can use it to compensated the spirit crystals he lost from his son and the others.

A sly light flashed in Murong Gong's eyes, and said. "Actually, there's an immortal in a small commoner town in my sect's area. The immortal exudes Dao Essence, to the degree that it fills up the sky. I had a meal there, and I just went from the Peak of the Divinity Realm to the Second Stage of the Soul-Splitting!"

After speaking, Murong Gong began to wait for Zhang Shaofeng to say whether he believed it or not.

"This..."

After hearing this, Zhang Shaofeng was stunned for a while, then suddenly his eyes flashed excitement, and he said loudly. "So that's what happened. Take me to see Senior! Now!"

Murong Gong was dumbfounded a little bitter and asked. "You believe something that absurd? Are not you worried that I'm lying to you?"

"Impossible! Because even Qingxian's strength has improved that much. I know how much of a piece of trash he is. Furthermore, we've been friends for so many years. Who would I trust if not you?" Zhang Shaofeng said.

Zhang Qingxian was shocked and speechless. "Am I trash? Is he really my father?"

Murong Gong told Zhang Shaofeng about the true intentions of Senior. "I can't believe you said that. Truthfully, the Senior came down to the mortal realm and treated himself as a mortal to cultivate his heart and mind."

"We managed to get an amazing opportunity from him before we left. We can't just go over and trouble him again." Murong Gong explained clearly that they cannot just recklessly disturb Senior's seclusion.

Zhang Shaofeng glared at Murong Gong with a disdainful and annoyed look.

"Why that expression?" Murong Gong confusedly asked.

"You are lying to me now, aren't you?" Zhang Shaofeng was suspicious and said disdainfully.

Murong Gong on the other hand was stunned and felt guilty, he thought Zhang Shaofeng trusted him because of their years of friendship.

Buzz!—

Then suddenly a huge tremor sound that make them tremble and they felt a strong spiritual pressure coming from the Senior's residence.

"What is that sound? An earthquake? Zhang Qingxian asked.

"No! There is a very strong spiritual pressure coming! Zhang Shaofeng said fearfully.

Murong Gong was shocked and said. "What?! Spiritual pressure? That direction is the location where the Senior lives?"

"Let's go take a look! We might be able to make it for dinner! Murong Gong grabbed Zhang Shaofeng's hand and said with excitement flashed in his deep eyes.

"Dinner?" Zhang Shaofeng was confused about what he is saying.

Then a flashed of blue light make the two of them teleport, leaving Zhang Qingxian behind.

Zhang Qingxian did not make it and was left behind all alone.

"Huh? What about me? You should at least bring me?" Zhang Qingxian make a gloomy expression.

Chen Ping An's Residence

Chen Ping walked out of the door with the basket on his back. He has a job to support himself, and that is to go collect herbs in the mountains.

Rustle—

At this moment, a huge black hole appeared in the air above Chen Ping's courtyard. This black hole is the size of a house, distorting space.

The chicken looked at the huge black hole and said shockingly. "What!! Was it attracted here? How troublesome."

"Is this the Senior's residence?" Zhang Shaofeng asked confusedly.

"Huh?" The chicken did not expect that his master have a guest waiting outside the courtyard.

Murong Gong solemnly replied to Zhang Shaofeng's confusion. "That's right. The gate is closed. He must have gone out."

"It looks like we won't be able to have dinner today!" Murong Gong was so disappointed that he couldn't get an opportunity from Senior.

"Why are you so fixated on having dinner in Senior's house?" Zhang Shaofeng was annoyed at Murong Gong for being self-conceited.

The tremor sound from the black hole was even more louder close up. Murong Gong and Zhang Shaofeng watched this scene, their eyes suddenly widened.

Whoosh!— Whoosh!—

"But... was it this hole that made the sound just now?" Zhang Shaofeng looked at the huge black hole that appeared above their heads and asked.

After a hidden hole like this appears, a hidden realm will descend. With such a large hole, the hidden realm must be the size of the town. The powerful force will flatten the ground below. It might even end up razing the whole town to the ground.

"Is this the work of the Senior?" Zhang Shaofeng asked.

Murong Gong frowned and said. "Impossible. Senior hasn't been using his cultivation since he's cultivating his heart and mind as a mortal. Besides he would never do anything cruel."

This kind of randomly appearing secret realm is like a natural disaster, and there is nothing they can do about it.

"Let's go there is nothing we can do by staying here. While there is time, we should save as many people as we can!" Murong Gong's face was serious.

"You're right!" Zhang Shaofeng nodded, preparing to take advantage of this time to save a few more people.

But just when they were about to leave and do it. Suddenly, a golden light shines brightly from the pond.

Zhang Shaofeng realized that something was wrong, and so he turns around to see what is happening.

Roar!— Swoosh!!— Roar!—

Then a huge figure rush out from the courtyard and rose into the air in the blink of an eye. The golden dragon rose into the air, and bites the black hole where the secret realm reside, and was taken for a few miles away from the courtyard.

"Is that a dragon? Do my eyes deceive me?" Zhang Shaofeng was shocked and his heart was beating wildly.

"No, but what if I tell you there is also a phoenix inside?!" Murong Gong knew the situation inside better than Zhang Shaofeng and said solemnly.

"Phoenix?! Someone who can have a dragon and a phoenix supporting him. Isn't that... the Divine Emperor?!" Zhang Shaofeng was shocked by his words, and his legs began to tremble.

Knowing that there is a phoenix besides a dragon in this courtyard, Zhang Shaofeng began to feel fear in this yard. There was a huge pressure in his heart, which made his chest tight and short of breath. This give him have the urge to leave the courtyard quickly.

In the Deep of the Mountain

Zoom— Swish!—

A sudden turbulence portal was opened and a golden long sword emerged from the small portal. After the golden long sword appeared, the small portal closed and disappeared.

The golden long sword also fell to the ground. As soon as the golden long sword on the ground landed, a spirit body began to talk to itself inside the sword body.

"Awesome! I finally managed to escape to the mortal realm! That despicable Blood Moon Sect actually wanted me to acknowledge them as my master. I spit on them!"

Immortal Weapons generally choose their own masters. As long as they have a strong master, they are not afraid of being coveted by others.

But there are also some other Divine Artifact that don't want to be bound. After all, they are possess with an spiritual intelligence.

Even though he was badly injured in thanks to the turbulence in the teleportation array, his soul is still intact. He will gradually regained his True Form in a hundred years or so.

"I will definitely get revenge for them imprisoning me!" The golden long sword talked.

Then a strange man was standing beside the long sword and blocked the sunlight.

"Huh? Why is there a sword here?" Strange man said.

"Someone's here?"

The strange man tried to pickup the long sword.

"Humph! A mortal touching me will definitely be completely annihilated down to the soul by my aura. You only have yourself to blame for being unlucky.

The strange man have picked up the golden long sword and said. "It looks pretty good."

"Huh? What the?! How come he's fine?!" The Divine Artifact saw the handsome man unscathed, and was observing him with a gentle smile.

"T-This person..." The moment it saw Chen Ping clearly which exudes Dao Essence everywhere around him, it fell into an endless shock.

"Lucky me. It's good. I'll bring it home." Chen Ping stared at the golden long sword with a scary gaze.

The golden sword can also feel the endless pressure on Chen Ping. Just looking at Chen Ping, the sword body will tremble.

What kind of monster is he?!
